ARE ® Exam Prep
Preparing for the NCARB Architecture Registration Examination® (ARE®) is a significant milestone on the journey to becoming a licensed architect. This rigorous series of exams tests your knowledge, skills, and abilities in various aspects of the profession. At ARCHU, we understand the challenges that come with preparing for the ARE®, and we are committed to providing you with the resources and support you need to succeed.
The Importance of the ARE® Exam
The ARE® is designed to assess whether candidates have the necessary competencies to practice architecture independently. It encompasses six divisions, each focusing on different areas of architectural practice:
Practice Management
Project Management
Programming & Analysis
Project Planning & Design
Project Development & Documentation
Construction & Evaluation
Achieving a passing score in all these divisions is essential for obtaining licensure and advancing your career in architecture.
